I have no idea what my "fastest" 5-60 mph time is, but my "best" (which is what you asked for) will be the time when I hear the distinct double thump of running you over. Please go away.

ok, as if the RX8 forum isn't a bad enough place to post anything of this type...

why 5-60MPH? It's not really an easy run to get an official time for like the 1/4 would be on a track.

No offense bud, but after 100 posts, i'd think you'd have an understanding as to what kinda threads are gonna get dissed and which are helpful.

I went out and got 7.6 seconds today.

5-60 times are easier on the clutch. Oh, and they are easier to time.

Yeah I actually saw that recall earlier but it doesn't apply to my car. My car is a '05 build date. Thanks for the help anyways.

I have an appointment scheduled for monday.
